Interesting glaws side, polledri rested, Moriarty and Morgan back into the back row after next to no game time, Williams starting...
What to read into it, looks like a more bruising pack, more designed for 10 man rugby, Williams territory play preferred to burns' We shall see.

Cracking game and a good win for Glos.
Trinder's try was an absolute gem. He was very good as was his centre partner Atkinson, who did a lot of very useful things and is genuinely a very good player i think (i know Mells does too).
Slater and Ludlow were excellent up front.

Ludlow has been consistently good all season. I’d see him as more of a 6 than a 7 but he can’t be too far off the England radar.
